You might not imagine that services such as drug and alcohol rehab in Locks Heath would be required, but even in this tiny part of Hampshire, people struggle under the weight of addiction every single day. As a referral service, we know that many individuals are already accessing rehab services in Locks Heath, but we are also aware that there are many more who have still not come to terms with the fact that they need help.

There are countless reasons people delay getting help for addiction, and one is the fact that so many individuals are in denial about their situations. It may be hard to understand how someone with an addiction to alcohol or drugs may be in denial, but the reality is that what is clear to everyone else is often less obvious to the individual who is affected. Realising that you may need alcohol or drug rehab in Locks Heath is difficult, particularly if you have an idea of what addiction is and do not believe that you fit the profile of the stereotypical addict.

Overcoming the Stigma of Addiction with Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Locks Heath

It is important to be aware that most people do not fit the profile of the stereotypical addict. In fact, those who are affected by alcohol or drug addiction are often just like everyone else – they have nice jobs, loving families, and plenty of money.

It is the stigma of addiction that can act as a barrier to both alcohol and drug rehab in Locks Heath and elsewhere. Most fail to realise that addiction is actually a recognised illness of the brain and those who are affected by it are no more to blame than the person who is affected by another illness such as cancer.

With drug and alcohol rehab in Locks Heath and other parts of the UK, individuals will learn more about the illness that affects them and will be taught coping skills that they can take with them when they return to independent sober living.

Addiction is an illness, but it is a treatable illness. For more information on how you can overcome the stigma of addiction, please get in touch with us today.

Are You in Need of Alcohol or Drug Rehab in Locks Heath?

The inability to accept that addiction is a problem is often the biggest reason people fail to access rehab in Locks Heath and beyond. In many cases, it is family members and friends who recognise the need for professional help, long before the individual does.

Here at Addiction Helper, it is common for us to get calls from those who feel they have been pressured to do so by their loved ones. Many are convinced that there is no problem until they are forced to take an honest look at their lives and their substance use. It is rare that loved ones would pressure a family member to get help for an addiction without good reason.

If your family or friends are concerned that you may be drinking too much or are worried about your drug taking, they may have a point. You have nothing to lose by getting in touch with us. We will deal with every aspect of our discussion in the strictest confidence, so nobody will know you have been in contact with us unless you tell them.

We can provide you with a free in-depth evaluation of your situation, which should give you a clearer idea of whether you require rehab in Locks Heath. This evaluation will consider your history of substance use, the type of substance you are using now, how often you use it, and the amount you are using. Our fully trained advisors will be able to tell if you do indeed have an addiction and how severe it is based on the answers you provide. We encourage you to be completely honest during the assessment as this is the best way to get a clear and accurate picture of your situation.

If it is determined that you require professional help, we can quickly and easily match you to the most suitable treatment providers based on your own circumstances and your treatment requirements.

What Does Rehab in Locks Heath Mean for You?

If you can accept that drug or alcohol addiction is an issue, you will be ready to take the next step on the road to recovery. For most this will mean a detox followed by rehabilitation. A fully comprehensive recovery programme will include both elements and will usually be followed by aftercare.

Throughout the UK, rehab is provided by various organisations including the NHS, private clinics, local support groups, and charities. It is our aim to match you to the provider that will work best for you. We have years of experience working with all these organisations and we know which provider specialises in which type of addiction.

We will normally advise clients to undergo their detox in a dedicated facility as we believe that this is the safest and most comfortable environment in which to break the physical bond between the substance and the user.

A detox programme typically takes around one to two weeks to complete, and once it is finished, treatment can begin in either an inpatient or an outpatient facility. You will have the choice of what type of programme you would like.

Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab Programmes Available

Inpatient programmes usually last between six and eight weeks. Shorter programmes tend to be less effective in terms of tackling the underlying issues associated with addiction while longer programmes run the risk of the patient becoming institutionalised and finding it hard to return to normal life. That being said, longer programmes of up to twelve weeks are appropriate for those with more complex cases, such as dual diagnosis.

Outpatient programmes run for longer as they are less intensive and patients must also deal with everyday life while trying to overcome their addiction with regular counselling.

The choice of treatment programme will be based on your needs and your preferences. Addiction Helper can match you to a suitable programme in a matter of minutes. Call today for more information on our service and how we can help you to overcome addiction once and for all.
